As the Mustang will see a complete redesign in 2015, changes to the 2014 Mustang are minor. New colors include Oxford White and Ruby Red Metallic, while Red Candy Metallic, High Performance White and School Bus Yellow are gone. Elsewhere, V6 and V8 appearance packages have been changed subtly from those of the outgoing model, and the high-performance BOSS 302 Mustang has been discontinued.

The Mustang got an extensive redesign a couple of years ago, and it carries through with that same heritage pony car look. Mustangs remain one of the strongest performance coupe values for the money, thanks to prices that start in the low twenties and a bottom-line price of about $35k for a well-equipped GT coupe. Additionally, Mustang convertibles are one of the better picks for those who plan to make an impression when cruising, especially if they plan to carry passengers in the back seat.
